Islam is not a religion, it's a way of life. One that we cannot afford to have in our free world. Obama is hell bent on destroying this country and turning it over to the hateful Islamics, He is a muslim, there is no question about it.

and on 9-11-01 the St Nicholas Church was destroyed when the Twin Towers cruched it. Since then NYC the port authority and the Mayors office have been given the Church the run around about rebuilding. Its been 9 years it would be nice if this got as much attention as the Mosgue has

People had better wake up! My God they want to wipe isreal off the face of the earlh and they want to kill all Americans! There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim! Obama is all for the mosque being built. That tells you just how much sensitivity he has for the American people and how much he hates America! I only wish this traitor could be impeached!

Amen! So tell me why does our illustrious leader, obama, see a no problem with this new show of evil? This is no longer simpy a case of some twisted members of a religious group, but an entire religion which needs to be stopped. I don't care any longer about thier right to religious freedom, I care more for the right to live and it is quickly coming down to this fact. Which would you choose? I choose the right to life, because I want to live.

I am so sick of all of the blaming, when we have a traitor in office right now! I feel as though I have lived all my life only to wake up in a nightmare. Who would have ever guessed that we would be in the middle of a war, only to have one of them become our president and yet, he is still not being impeached.

I have never really hated anyone or thing in my life, because I believed that God did not want this of me, however, I have come to truly dislike (perhaps hate, although this is an alien feeling for me) these twisted, hate filled individuals who need to be stopped at all costs.

I understand. I do not like the word hate either. Even though I use it in conversation, I cannot say that I have ever hated anyone. But Islam is pushing it and I think this could turn out to be a very hateful time in history.

So true, yet the ruling powers refuse to impeach him for his lies to the american people. Just how much more damage can he cause in his 2 years remaining? Can he destroy us completely? I fear what is to come and I am too old to be running for cover, I never thought I would live to see the end of our world, but I am beginning to believe I will.
